| know this don't suit you, you old
crank and dead-beat under the temper
ance cloak: you expected to be tax
collector under the new regime-get an
office, didn't you? l put prohibition
above politics and before God. If /
had no more interest in my fellow-men
than a political interest I'd get out and
not be seen among respectable people
A man came to me one day and asked
me how l stood OH the third party.
When said l didn't believe in it and
couldn't belong to it he asked me how
was going to get at the work; he said,
you Amt for Grover Cleveland and you
amt for Jim Blaine and now you say
you amt for third party" There's
A MILLION WAYS
to do it without belonging to any of
them. Everything in the universe
isn't in one of them. The fell
low talking to me was for
prohibition and just to get
an office, too. He's the kind of fellow
that shouts in any party for the old flag
and all appropriation. l want to make
both the Democratic and Republican
parties prohibition parties and then let
them fight out their issues on high
ground. / know l might as we'll be talk
ing Greek to you fellows that belong to
the Democratic and Republican parties
as this stuff. l don't expect q fellow
that's looking through a whisky
ligent view of this question, and about
the only telescope the Democratic party
of this state has got is a whisky bottle.
The Republican horoscope isn't any
better: instead of whisky bottle it's a
beer glass, and as the beer has muddy
color, their view is confused, or muddy.
You can't take this text to the bar.
tender alone who dishes out the stuff
and say to him, lit means YOU" Every
one who helps to legaliZe the traffic is
included in the text. The citizen is
unit that makes up society, the church
and the state, and as the units are SO
the whole will be. If you can get the
whole state behind you on any question
it's going to be carried. Your duty as a
man is to take such stand on this queS-
ton that neither man nor devil can move
you, and l do not believe the men of
this state are so lost to honor. so lost to
every principle of their manhood that
if properly aroused to the enOrinity of
the whisky traffic that they will not rise
up and wipe it out of existence. Isn't
it strange state of affairs when one
barkeeper in ST. Paul can control more
votes than all the preachers in the city?
VIII you ever see a minister go
to the polls followed by his flock? Eve
had Republicans tell me the Democratic
country. say it's lie, and you never
heard a man tell this that didn't know
he was lying. l can prove that the
Democrats have done more for prohibit
ton than the Republicans. You Re
publicanS had control of this government
for twenty-fOur years and if you
weren't the whisky party why didn't
you stop it? You needn't come around
saying the other party is the whisky
party. You've got a high license law
in this state and it's a dandy, amt it?
YOU'RE high toned, you won't have
saloon unless it's paid 81, 600. No trouble
to get as much to drink as you
please; no trouble to swear all
you please, and no trouble to
curse and swear all you please;
but you must get your whisky from a
place that has paid the 81 900 revenue.
You're going to hell all right, but you're
going through $1,000 saloon. The
newspapers talk of this as a necessary
evil. / say to You no state yet has ever
collected as much revenue as it has cost
to meet expenses caused by it.. Would
to God that these papers could see this
as they ought. There's the St. Paul
GLOBE, if it would come oat for pro-
hibition it could
CHANGE THIS STATE
in ninety days. And then you say you
can't do this because of your foreigners.
Down in Georgia we had TODD with the
-'colOred people, uneducated and without
leaders, who thought one of their in
herent rights was to drink whisky, and
yet we pulled through. The only for
eignerS l fear are the kind you find
down in Ohio, who form a society whose
platform contains just two planks:
First-We are opposed co all Sunday legis-
lation.
Second-We are opposed to all liquor legis-
Iation.

was in danger except among this beer
guZzling crowd. This is an American
country and it's going to be run ON
American principles; when we want it
run on Dutch principles We'll elect Bis
marek president. Then there's a lot of
alleged ministers between the living
and dead class. 1 hate to see
one of these ministerial monstros-
tiles who's always trying to come
promise the cause of Christ with the
saloonkeeper. A high license minister,
what is he? About the only time you
can get him to come out and say where
he stands is when some high license bill
comes up. He's bidder for the chief
office in hell. He ought to take his pull
pit and move it into the back end of a
saloon. He ought to swing his ham,
mock in beer-garden and be
held down to salt pretzels and sour
pickles as his diet. know some minis
tiers around here, in this very church,
who don't like that kind of talk and l
expect that preacher and his friends
will discuss this over a glass of
wine the next time they meet.

before five years I believe that south
from the Potomac to the Rio Grande,
from Ohio to the Florida Keys, will be
solid for prohibition, and what will you
do in this state for the grandest of all
questions?
